70 Watts of Crystal Clear Output for Clean Mixes

When you snag a pair of M-Audio BX5 Carbon active studio monitors, you get high-end reference monitors without the high-end price. As part of M-Audio's BX studio monitor series, the BX5 Carbons feature an extended frequency response for a more natural listening experience, as well as a sleek bi-amped design with 70 watts of distributed power that will rock in any studio. Kevlar low-frequency drivers and waveguide-loaded silk dome tweeters cover the frequency spectrum from 56 Hz to 22 kHz.

A Captivating Listening Experience

Chances are that you've been recording, mixing, and mastering for a while now. But have you really heard your music? Mixes that sound awesome on your monitors might not sound so clean on others. That's where the BX5 Carbons excel -- these active monitors are designed to be extremely accurate, letting you hear exactly how your music sounds and how it will translate to other listening environments or systems. With BX5 Carbons, you get transparency and sonic definition for a modest price.

Sound Tailored to Fit the Room

On the back of the BX5 Carbon monitor, you'll find the Acoustic Space switch. This calibration device ensures ideal sound for any room by letting you adjust the monitor's low-end output. When the monitors are in full-space, or away from walls, flat provides full low-end volume. If the monitors are mounted against a wall, you can compensate by reducing the low end by 2 or 4 decibels.

Find The Sweet Spot Fast

With these M-Audio monitors, you won't have to move about the room to find the sweet spot. The BX5 Carbons will tell you when you're sitting in the right listening position by lighting up a pinhole LED.

You Won't Be Replacing These Anytime Soon

Five-inch, woven Kevlar low-frequency drivers lengthen the lifespan of the monitors. Mechanically and thermally resilient, Kevlar is a long-lasting material ideal for use in speaker cones. Moreover, high-temperature voice coils reduce power compression, helping ensure that the BX5 Carbons won't fail on you after long listening sessions. Other notable features include a curved conical design that improves room dispersion, and high-damping rubber surrounds that provide percussive musical bass and accurate reproduction.

Clear Highs up to 22 kHz

Silk high-frequency domes eliminate any audible ringing typically associated with domes made of metallic materials, while a fully isolated high-frequency driver keeps distortion at the bare minimum, and a built-in waveguide offers an expansive sound stage and excellent imaging.

M-Audio's BX5 Carbons employ a Class A/B bi-amplified design, which assigns separate power amps to the high and low frequencies, providing plenty of headroom for loud, dynamic mixes. The end result is tonal accuracy and cohesive sound across the sonic spectrum.

When the LEDs turn bright, you know you're dead center and ready to start mixing your sessions or laying down tracks with the BX5 Carbon.
